Automate compile_flags for C/C++ projects on the Zig build system

news.ycombinator.com Simon Hartcher 2025-09-28 17:28:49

When using Zig’s build system for C/C++ projects, editors struggle to find include paths and provide proper code intelligence. compile_flagz solves this by automatically generating compile_flags.txt from your build.zig configuration. The Problem Recently I’ve been working on ROLLER, a decompilation project for the 1995 game, Fatal Racing (or Whiplash in NA). The game (known internally as Roller), is an early 3D game written in C with a bespoke engine. It also happens to be one of my favourite

Vampires have captured the hearts and minds of audiences for over 100 years. From the original Dracula novel, to Abigail these monsters have delivered gore-soaked bloodbaths from creatures that only resemble humans. Novelist Anne Rice's vampire catapulted vampires to super stardom between her 1980s books, and the Tom Cruise/Brad Pitt adaptation of Interview With a Vampire in the '90s.

After AI Led to Layoffs, Coders Are Being Hired to Fix ‘Vibe-Coded’ Screwups

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-03 09:30:49

The generative AI industry has promised to “disrupt” society, and on that front, it can be said to have succeeded. AI has certainly disrupted many parts of society, including education, social media, and politics. Most of all, it seems to have disrupted the tech industry itself, where what was once a profitable career (software development) increasingly seems to be more of a precarious one, thanks to the rise of so-called “vibe coding”—a form of AI-assisted software development that requires les

Study Directly Links Emissions from Fossil Fuel Producers to Devastating Heatwaves

A new study directly links hundreds of major heatwaves since 2000 to the emissions from fossil fuel and cement producers. Among its fundings, the researchers conclude that as many as a quarter of all heatwaves since the start of this century would have been “virtually impossible” without emissions from any of the world’s 14 largest fossil fuel and cement producers.
